Use Webcam Tracking

Open Settings → Webcam Tracking if you want optional camera-based tracking and gaze-based analysis scrolling. It is not required for chat, audio transcription, or screenshots.

Webcam Tracking settings with enable control and camera status area

  1. Enable webcam tracking.
  2. Grant macOS Camera permission if requested.
  3. Choose a camera when more than one is available.
  4. Check that a preview and usable face/tracking status appear.
  5. Test scrolling in your normal lighting and seating position.

On a preview error, use the displayed retry or camera-settings control. A toggle being on does not mean the camera or face detector is working.

Camera permission is separate from microphone and screen permissions. Disable tracking when you do not want camera access. This tracking feature does not itself mean video recording is enabled or video is being sent to your analysis provider.

Treat tracking as optional and test it before relying on it in a live session. Keyboard scrolling remains available in Shortcuts.
